All male citizens oetween the ages of
21 years and 60 years except those ex
empt by law are liable to a poll tax of
One Dollar each. A capitation tax of
50 cents each is to be paid on all dogs.
The law prescribes that all male citi
zens between the ages of 18 and 55
years must pay S2.00 commutation tax
or work six days on the public roads.
As this is optional with the individual,
no commutation tax is included in the
property tax. So ask for road tax re
ceipt when you desire to pay road tax.

DETAILS
The difference between a peni
tentiary and a palace is largely a
matter of detail.
Both are designed for human hab
itation and serve equally well to
protect the inmates from the ele
ments.
But ont is a vastly more comfort
able place of abode than the other.
SO IT IS WITH GLASSES
Crudely fitted glasses MAY help
your vision, but great care in every
detail o? adjustment is essential to
safety and comfort.
YOUR EYES ARE WORTH A
CORRECTLY FITTED PAIR
OF GLASSES.

. Fortunes in Faces.
There's often much truth in the
saying "ber face is ber fortune," but
its never said where pimples, skin
eruption.", blotches, or other blem
ishes disfigure it. Impure blood is
back o' them all, and shows the
need of Dr. King's New Life Pills.
They promote health and beauty.
